Thanks to all who helped us celebrate the 12th anniversary of Amigos de los Animales

[Sandra Ward]

Those of you who were able to attend the party at El Midi Bistro and Casa Cuatro on February 16 already know that it was a big success--thanks to everyone who bought tickets, donated those great raffle prizes, donated the many wonderful items and services for the silent auction, purchased auction prizes, entertained us with live jazz and humor, and provided the delightful venue.

We are pleased to report that the event netted Amigos de los Animales 42,060 pesos (approximately US $3,300). Most of this money will be used to sterilize more dogs and cats (over 7,400 sterilized so far). The rest will pay for vaccinations, treating injured animals that our volunteers rescue, and continuing our public-education activities. We have no paid staff and pay no rent. Our only overhead consists of the fee we pay our accountant each year, a monthly fee for maintaining our website, and a monthly bank fee.

Thank you once again for your support,
Sandra Ward and the other Amigos Board members
